Henry Valentino

The angels came and took Hank Valentino to Heaven today, September 12, 2019. He is survived by his wife, Lucille, his children, Henry, Vincent, Leesa, and Adele, and their spouses Jan, Viviana, and Jeff, as well as 4 grandchildren whom he loved with all his heart.  His calm courage in the face of a long illness was his final example of patience, love and devotion to his family.   He was born in Brownsville, Texas and lived in Fairfax Station, Virginia and Las Vegas, Nevada.  Hank was a Veteran of the United States Air Force and worked for 31 years at the Pentagon.  During his life Hank and Lucille traveled the world, visiting more than 100 countries helping the less fortunate.  The powerful example he set every day of his life will transcend him.
